Abstract
Prescriptions are imputed or allocated to a non-reporting sample outlet in a universe of outlets that generally report prescription data to a database. Prescriptions are imputed or allocated based on the outlet's recent prescription or physician distribution. Prescription allocations to an outlet for a particular product in a product group are proportional to the ratio of the recent prescriptions for that particular product and for the product group.
